How a Dog’s Killing Turned Brooklyn Progressives Against One Another

After a sudden confrontation that left a golden retriever dead, neighbors came together online to support the owner of the dog. But then things changed.

[....] One thing they talked about, a lot, was local crime. In Nextdoor forums for communities all over the country, this included suspected crime and sightings of “suspicious” characters, leading early critics to say that what the platform really propagated was white fear. After complaints about racial profiling in 2016, the company instituted diversity training for its operations staff and new protocols for posts about crime and safety. But even in 2020, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez characterized it as an outlet for privileged white people to vent criminal fantasies about their Black and brown neighbors. She tweeted, “@Nextdoor needs to publicly deal w/ their Karen problem.” [....].

Did she take the red pill?
“I’m very empathetic toward people who are unhoused and are having hard times and who have mental illness... But what I emphasize is that this is just one person who needs to be removed from the park. He’s violent. End of story.” https://t.co/jalNmlN1tJ

^ Learning about shit like this reinforced my instincts to remain registered as an Independent when I moved to NYC. On principle I want nothing to do with corrupt machines prescribing power.

Many of the founders are often rolling in their graves.
